action oriented

I am an activator. I once asked some of my best friends at the start of a bible study, "are we going to do this or not?!"

They had to laugh at my need for action even in the middle of a so called laid-back bible study time. I laughed too...but i never retracted what i said or what i meant. I am a person geared toward action. I make decisions and I move on them. I want information that leads to application so that we can get on with the business of becoming what we ought to become.

Today in church I heard some thigns i need to act on.

First i heard that one of the meanings of the word "father" is architect and builder. This stirred in me the following questions: Do i really believe God is the architect of my life? Am i allowing god to be the builder? What needs to change in my actions and words and prayers that would enable me to see God as the builder of my entire life?

The next item the Lord spoke to me was about keeping the SPARK alive in life. Again i come away with questions: What am i doing currently to make sure my relationship with god has a spark? What am i doing in my marriage to keep the spark alive? What am I doing to keep the family spark alive with my kids and in my home? What about the spark for my work?

I noticed that in all of these items my BODY is involved. I must take care of myself physically so that i am not a slave to my body. It is, afterall, in my body that all of these other things must happen. my body has to be subject to me and subject to the spirit of god in order for all of thes great spiritual steps to take place.

Change. I love it. thank you Lord for showing me some areas that need to change. Work through me to bring about all that you want to change in me. I am expecting a new spark!
